    Chapter 49 College Cup Harry and Ron were sent to the infirmary. Madam Pomfrey examined them in the most detailed manner and finally left them in the infirmary.  A guard force used to protect the Philosopher's Stone, a trap carefully prepared by several professors was actually cracked by three students with only average grades, and not even one person was seriously injured. Such a story can only be described as drama.  to describe.  Why is it called drama? Because it is like a performance on a stage. It looks thrilling, but in fact it is just acting.  Before dawn, a rumor spread in the school.  Pure-blood wizards are spread across the four major colleges. Although Slytherin is the base of the most conservative pure-blood wizards, there are also many pure-blood wizards in the other three colleges.  Sephiroth didn't know exactly what method Draco used, but the effect was remarkable.  Before dawn, another adventure story gradually flowed from Slytherin to the other three houses.  Three Gryffindor students who were daring and wanted to express themselves secretly stole the treasure kept by the professor in the middle of the night - the Philosopher's Stone.  ¡°Moreover, they were discovered by two brave and smart Slytherin students at the last moment, but were finally caught by the professors blocking the door.  It is said that they also lied that Professor Snape, the dean of Slytherin, wanted to steal the Sorcerer's Stone; but in fact, it was Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape who arrested the lying students from the room on the fourth floor.  out.  The turmoil became more and more intense. Although the names of the Gryffindors were not clearly mentioned in the rumors, everyone knew it after thinking about it.  There are not many talents in Gryffindor, and even less ability. Not to mention Hermione, the only first-year person who has the ability to crack the professor's guard.  And when thinking of Hermione, there was no need to even think about who the remaining two people were.  Apart from the two saviors who had just embarrassed Gryffindor and lost points, and that stupid Weasley, who else could be there?  Coupled with the fact that Harry and the others had lost 150 points not long ago, the balance in the minds of other students was now more inclined to believe the truth of the rumors.  However, there are still some people who support Harry and some sober wise men who are skeptical, but in the face of this general trend, they can only pretend to know nothing.  Rumors are like undercurrents in the shadows. Although the surface is calm, there is an undercurrent surging underneath.  But it is a pity that since these rumors were only circulated among students, the professors did not receive relevant news and they knew nothing about it.  No professor came forward to clarify the rumors. In fact, even if the professors knew about it, they would not be able to do anything.  Like the other students, they knew nothing about the whole thing.  One more thing than ordinary students is that Mr. Sterling and Mr. Malfoy of Slytherin discovered Potter's conspiracy and hired the professor to catch them.  Now, Draco has become the center of attention.  In Sephiroth's view, Draco is really similar to Ron in some aspects, for example - now.  The next day at breakfast time, Draco did not sit on the chair and enjoy breakfast. Instead, he stood in the middle of the crowd and told the people around him over and over again how he caught Potter and committed the crime last night.  While he was enjoying the praise of other students, Sephiroth calmly stuffed another piece of meat pie into his stomach.  Even if you are a pure-blood wizard who values ????honor, you can¡¯t just have honor and not eat.  ¡°Moreover, if you brag too much now, it will be embarrassing if it breaks down later.  But anyway, Draco is the only one bragging. If it succeeds, the honor will be half that of Sephiroth. If it fails, only Draco will be embarrassed.  Time passes day by day, and the last days are approaching.  During this period, due to low morale, the last Quidditch match of the year was Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw.  Ravenclaw achieved a complete victory. Not only did they increase the score by dozens of points, they also caught the Golden Snitch in just twenty minutes. Unfortunately, the first place was still the Slytherin team.  Finally, three days passed in such a boring way, and Harry Potter, who was admitted to the medical room, also received permission to be discharged from the hospital, and the day finally arrived.  When evening fell, the castle had been renovated by the professors. Brand-new curtains and flags were hung on the ceilings everywhere. The hard work of the house elves made the walls and floors of the castle spotless.  The annual year-end dinner will decide the winner of the annual Academy Cup tonight.  The scores have been calculated. In fact, all the students in the school think that there is no need to calculate at all, because Slytherin still occupies the first place and has opened the score to a huge gap visible to the naked eye.    Not to mention the last place Gryffindor, which has less than half of Slytherin's number of gems, even the second place Ravenclaw, their gems are still nearly equal to Slytherin.  The quantity of three centimeters.  When Sephiroth brought all the first-year Slytherins to the auditorium, the auditorium was decorated with green and silver representing Slytherin to celebrate their seventh consecutive Academy Cup win.  On the wall behind the guest of honor seat was a huge banner depicting the Slytherin Silver Snake.  Many senior Slytherin students had already arrived early and were chatting and laughing in the Slytherin seats.  Sephiroth sat down at the long table of Slytherin, and Draco sat on his left. Compared to the other three houses, Slytherin seemed much more lively this time.  Because this is their day of honor.  More and more students gathered together. Although many people were dissatisfied with Slytherin's success, facing this day of celebration, everyone put aside their prejudices and became extremely excited.  After a while, Dumbledore and other professors arrived, and the noise in the auditorium gradually subsided.  "Another year has passed!" said Dumbledore cheerfully. "Before you indulge in these delicacies, I must trouble you all to listen to an old man's clich¨¦. What a wonderful year it has been! It must be in your little minds.  They are all richer than before. There is a whole summer vacation waiting for you, so that you can digest those things and clear your mind before the start of the next semester. " "Now, as far as I know, we first.  The Academy Cup award ceremony must be held. The specific scores of each house are as follows: fourth place, Gryffindor, 212 points; third place, Hufflepuff, 352 points; Ravenc  Four hundred and twenty-six points for Law, five hundred and twelve points for Slytherin." A thunderous cheer and stamping of feet erupted from the Slytherin table.  Even someone as indifferent as Sephiroth turned red with excitement, and Draco was so excited that he banged the long table with his goblet.  However, Sephiroth also knows that things will not end that easily.  The Philosopher's Stone was arranged by Dumbledore to give Harry Potter a trial and an opportunity to gain honor. He was not someone who would just give up on his original goal.  It is Dumbledore¡¯s stated goal to cultivate Harry Potter¡¯s courage and confidence through rewards and praise again and again.  Otherwise, how could a savior who grew up in a relative's home, was bullied from childhood, had low self-esteem and was weak, be able to accomplish the goals he set.  Dumbledore glanced at Snape, who had a cold face next to him. Even at this moment of collective excitement in Slytherin, his expression did not loosen at all.  In order to cultivate Harry's self-confidence, Slytherin had to sacrifice some interests.  Dumbledore glanced at the group of celebrating teenagers and girls, and sighed slightly in his heart. Using his power and fame to cheat was not what he wanted, but for the ultimate justice, a small sacrifice is inevitable.  Furthermore, in order to persuade Snape, Dumbledore had privately promised to give some benefits to Slytherin students in the future, as compensation for the harm they suffered from unfair treatment and the loss of the House Cup.  There is no way to have the best of both worlds. For Harry's growth, he can only take something cleverly from the hands of Slytherin students.  Slytherin¡¯s students are so outstanding. They have achieved so much. Let¡¯s leave it to Harry, the poor kid.  Compared with Slytherin students who have been trained with various resources since childhood, Harry needs the encouragement of others so much. He needs the nutrients to grow even more than Slytherin students.  "Yes, yes, the performance is good." Dumbledore said, "However, the recent events must also be taken into account." "Maybe you have heard of it, maybe some people don't know it yet, so I  Let me say it again. Just a few days ago, several first-year students successfully defended the Philosopher's Stone from being stolen. They are undoubtedly the heroes of the school. "The auditorium became very quiet, and the Slytherins were all excited.  The smiles also faded a bit. They seemed to realize something and looked at their dean, hoping to get some hints from his face.  "Ahem -" Dumbledore cleared his throat, "I still have some final points to distribute. Let me see. By the way. The first item - Mr. Ron Weasley." Ron's face flashed  His face was flushed, looking like a carrot scorched by the sun. He fidgeted in the chair and lowered his head.  "He won the most exciting game of chess at Hogwarts in many years, and I award Gryffindor ninety points for it." Draco held the hand of the goblet.His muscles bulged out, and his teeth made a grinding sound.  Not only that, Sephiroth also noticed that many students on the long Slytherin table clenched their fists, with angry flames flashing in their eyes.  Won a game of chess?  "Huh? What kind of reason is this? What a joke! I don't care how wonderful you are at playing chess. You have to get extra points for just one game of chess. You are really free to do whatever you want. If you have the ability, ask him to come and play chess with me!" Sephiroth!  On the right, Shabini laughed angrily. He actually squeezed the goblet in his hand so hard that it made a cracking sound.  Dumbledore thought too much.  He hopes to give Harry the best so that he can thrive.  At the same time, he also considered the mood of the Slytherin students and decided to give them some compensation as much as possible to make up for their losses.  But he took it too naturally. This was only compensation that Dumbledore thought he felt, but it could not make up for the harm suffered by the Slytherins, especially the harm in their hearts.  Not everyone will like the so-called compensation. Slytherin students are not short of money. Compared with a little compensation, they are more interested in the honor they personally compete for.  However, how could the opinions of some mere Slytherin students shake Dumbledore's determination.  Even their fathers had to be cautious when facing him. As the most outstanding wizard of this era, Dumbledore was not afraid of the so-called "pure-blood nobles".  It took a lot of effort for everyone to calm down again.  "The second item - Miss Hermione Granger. She faced the fire and calmly carried out logical reasoning. I will award Gryffindor House ninety points." Hermione buried her face in her arms, but Lisa  Philos couldn't tell whether she was excited or ashamed.  Facing the fire?  Did the fire burn them?  That simple reasoning, if you ask any Slytherin or Ravenclaw student, no one can do it.  Well, except maybe Crabbe and Goyle.  "The third item - Harry Potter." Dumbledore continued, and the auditorium became extremely quiet at this moment.  "He showed fearless courage and extraordinary courage. For this, I would also like to award Gryffindor House 120 points." The noise was deafening.  Those students who can still count the scores in their minds while shouting until their voices are hoarse know that Gryffindor's score is now exactly the same as that of Slytherin.  They were on the verge of winning the House Cup - if Dumbledore awarded Harry a point, the House Cup would be theirs.  After six years, for the first time, we saw hope of taking back the House Cup from Slytherin.  As for whether Harry and the others were guarding the Philosopher's Stone, or whether they were trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone as rumored, they no longer cared about this kind of thing.  Compared to those rumors, the current temptation of winning the Academy Cup is greater.  " Extreme joy brings sorrow. Compared with Gryffindor's carnival, Slytherins all have gloomy faces.  Dumbledore giving Gryffindor points like this in front of them was like slapping them in the face, and it made a "slap" sound.  They were stunned. Faced with the situation that was changing too fast, they were a little unable to react.  Dumbledore raised a hand, and the auditorium gradually became quiet again.  "There are many types of courage." Dumbledore smiled and glanced at the Gryffindor table. "We need superhuman courage to deal with our enemies, and it also takes a lot of courage to stand up for ourselves in front of our friends.  Therefore, I would like to award Mr. Neville Longbottom thirty points. ""That means-" Dumbledore had to shout loudly to be heard over the thunderous cheers, because even Ravenclaw and Hutchison were cheering.  Patch's students were also celebrating Slytherin's sudden defeat, "We need to make some small changes to the decoration here." He clapped his hands, and immediately, the green hanging ribbons turned into bright red and silver  turned into gold; the huge Slytherin snake disappeared, replaced by a majestic Gryffindor lion.  Snape was shaking hands with Professor McGonagall, forcing an awkward smile on his face.  He compromised with Dumbledore. The students of Slytherin House had worked hard to win the House Cup all year long, but Dumbledore took it away in this tough way.  Although he tried his best to gain more benefits for his students, facing a moment of tragic defeat on their behalf, no benefits could heal the hurt in their hearts.     What!  "The Slytherin students couldn't believe what their ears heard, until on the ceiling turned into bright and bright gold, red and a huge lion flag,"None of them could come back to their senses.  Bonus points for Gryffindor, but what about us?  ????????????????????????????????????Don¡¯t you get extra points for reporting the Slytherin student who attempted to enter the restricted area and notified the professor to capture Potter and his group?  ??Actually - no!  The cheers of the Gryffindors almost overturned the enchanted ceiling, and the stars above their heads seemed to be shaken slightly.  Harry clearly saw the livid faces of Malfoy and Sterling on the Slytherin table.  If someone was standing outside the Great Hall at this moment, they might think that there was an explosion. The cheers at the Gryffindor table grew louder and louder.  Harry, Ron and Hermione stood up and cheered loudly. Neville turned pale with surprise and was immediately overwhelmed by the crowd that rushed to hug him.  He has never won a point for Gryffindor! Harry cheered, nudged Ron with his elbow, and then pointed at Malfoy.  Judging from Malfoy's appearance, even if he had just been cast a full body binding spell, he would not look more surprised or panicked than he did now.  Five hundred and forty-two points is the current Gryffindor score.  Five hundred and twelve points, that¡¯s all Slytherin¡¯s points.  The situation was reversed. Gryffindor, who was in last place, surpassed Slytherin, who was in first place, by a full thirty points.  Dumbledore added 330 points to Gryffindor in one breath, which was even more than half of Gryffindor's original points combined.  ¡°Bang!¡± Draco clenched his fists and slammed them on the table. He stared at the cheering Gryffindors across from him without saying a word. A few minutes ago, it was their excitement.  Draco¡¯s attitude represents the mood of most Slytherin students. No one can accept this senseless failure.  The Academy Cup, which lasted for six years, just missed them this year, and it was for this childish reason.  Although they know that this failure is not their fault and no one will blame them for it, they still cannot accept it and are unwilling to admit such a failure.  "Haha. Hahahaha! Sure enough, Dumbledore. I knew you wouldn't give up like this. You are really seeking death! It seems that you did the right thing by preparing early." Sephiroth finally understood why.  It is clear that Dumbledore is the greatest wizard in the world, but few Slytherin students are willing to admit his greatness.  He personally experienced this unspeakable insult, the contempt that completely trampled their Slytherin pride and honor under his feet.  `` Ps: 5000+ luxury meals, couples on the street pair, tragedy is so much that no one holds me.
